KeyboardMania Song format.

I have a question guys. I saw videos on youtube of KBM from ps2 versions to PC versions. i have the PC version and i can only play midi files. I saw songs on youtube with people singing. Like the actual song is playing and not a cheap midi format. how are they doing that? There was one who also did it on DOREMIMANIA.
I can hear vocals on the videoss anyone know wats up? Such as on the castlevania song i can never hear the scream. but other people's videos i hear a scream.

The scream is a sound in the MIDI bank. If you're playing on a Yamaha keyboard using the Yamaha MIDI drivers you should hear it.

And since the entire KMYE uses MIDI for everything from menu music to the songs themselves (it only uses digital sound for the announcer), I don't think it's at all possible to have any actual lyrics in a song, unless someone decided to go through the trouble of making their own soundfont to include all the vocals.

ah thankx for the reply. do u think its possible to merge midi with a side mp3?

[Jeff Paine]

Nope. My best guess would be that they replaced the actual audio with an MP3. Which is very possible considering that KMYE outputs through the MIDI keyboard, so if they didn't record from the keyboard's headphone output then they could have very well inserted the MP3 so there's some sound in the video
